JDeveloper 11.1.1.2.0 - Help text at field level

Hi,
We are making use of the Help.properties file to produce field level text. I have field's such as the following
<af:inputText value="#{bindings.DocumentName.inputValue}"
                                label="#{bindings.DocumentName.inputValue eq null ? '' : bindings.DocumentName.hints.label}"
                                required="#{bindings.DocumentName.hints.mandatory}"
                                columns="#{bindings.DocumentName.hints.displayWidth}"
                                maximumLength="#{bindings.DocumentName.hints.precision}"
                                shortDesc="#{bindings.DocumentName.hints.tooltip}"
                                id="it4"
                                autoSubmit="true"
                                helpTopicId="WORKFLOW_EDITPURCHASEORDER_DOCUMENTNAME"
                                readOnly="true"
                                rendered="true"Is there a elegant way to disable the help text? e.g. provide a form level radio button to enable/disable help text? The only way i can think at the moment would
be to set the helpTopidId to a key that doesnt exists using an EL expression.
Regards

Hi,
I think what you suggest is the way to go in this case

Help text unreadable (fonts too small)

SQL Developer v.1.0 patched
RHEL4 AS Nahant Update 3 Linux
Sun jdk1.5.0_06
Help text font in SQL Developer is too small and almost unreadable, specially monotype font used to describe SQL queries.
Help text in JDeveloper is much better.
How to increase font size in SQL Developer Help text?
Niksa Jurinovic
[email protected]

Although this only partially addresses the problem, you can increase the help text font size by pressing the + (plus) key in your numeric keypad (in both SQL Developer and JDeveloper). The following (or similar wording) will be added to the "Using the Help" topic in the help and the User's Guide in a future release of SQL Developer:
"To increase the size of the font in the help topic viewer, press the + (plus) key in the numeric keypad part of your keyboard when the viewer has focus. To decrease the size of the font, press the - (minus) key in the numeric keypad. This setting is preserved only for the duration of the current help pane or window; therefore, you may want to keep the help pane open after setting the help text font to your preferred size."

IF Condition in RTF Help text

Hi,
I have RTF template which contains the field to display the column name. Below are my help text.
COLUMN1 is my XML tag and displaying AQUA color in my excel output.
<?COLUMN1?><xsl:attribute xdofo:ctx="block" name="background-color">Aqua</xsl:attribute>From above scenario, i need to add one more condition if there is no value in my XML tag then don't display the field in my excel output. For example. I have COLUMN1 and COLUMN2 XML Tag. Only COLUMN1 contains the value but COLUMN2 not. In my excel output the COLUMN2 value should not display.
Thanks

Please see if (How to make condition using XML tags to check NULL values in XML Publisher templates? [ID 414022.1]) helps.
Also, see XML Publisher Guide which can be accessed via http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/documentation/applications-167706.html

ORA-06502 on "Help Text" region when changing pages on a tabular form

Hello everybody,
We are developing an application on Apex 4.1.0.00.32. This application have some pages with tabular forms and these pages uses a page zero as template. In this page zero, we have added two sidebar regions: a list region to navigate on the application and a help text to describe how to use our application.
The problem occurs when the tabular split the records into pages (since it has more records that it can show on a single page). When the user clicks to change to another page, Apex raises an ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error as described below:
Erro ao renderizar a região "Ajuda". ORA-06502: PL/SQL: erro: erro de conversão de caractere em número numérico ou de valor

Obs: Our database is in Brazilian Portuguese, so I guess it will be hard for some people to understand the first two lines! :)
We have tried to change the pagination style of the tabular form and change the region model of the help text but the problem still happens.
Does anyone an ideia about what this may be?
Thanks in advance!

I am getting the exact same message, to the line number, also in APEX 4.1.0.0.32.

Using shortcuts in Item Help Text

Hello everyone,
I have a problem using shortcuts in Help Text sections of items. It says in the help "Item help supports shortcuts using "SHORTCUT_NAME" syntax." but it seems not. In the shortcuts sections of the shared components, it doesn't says that shortcuts can be used in Help text section.
I am using 3.1. It is a 3.1 bug? I didn't see int he corrected bug's list that is was a bug in 3.1 so.
If it is not a bug and it just doesnt work in help text sections, do you have any suggestion to supply help text from a help system somewhere else in the organisation?
Thank, Bpprive

Thank a lot,
You can find the information by clicking on "Show edit link" on a page, then on the edit link of a textfield, scrolling to the section "Item help text" and finally on "help text", juste above the textarea.
"Identifies help text for a page item. This help can be displayed by a help system. Item help supports shortcuts using "SHORTCUT_NAME" syntax."
I was really happy to find an easy and customizable way to implement help text provided by help system. I have some more ideas, but I't was far away the greatest!
Thank, bpprive

Page level help text question

APEX - 4
DB version - 10g
Web server architecture - OHS
Browser - IE8
Theme - 5
I know how to set and display help text for a page item, and I see there is the option to add help text at the page level, but how does the user accessing the screen see the page level help text?
I was thinking it might be a good way to add user help guide information at the page level.
Thank you for any assistance.

I know how to set and display help text for a page item, and I see there is the option to add help text at the page level, but how does the user accessing the screen see the page level help text?Using a Help page and region accessed via a help link (e.g. a navigation bar entry), or using the <tt>apex_application.help</tt> API method in a PL/SQL Dynamic Content region.
This is covered in the APEX documentation which should be consulted before posting a question here.

Front End Screen to Update Item Help Text

Hello, I've been asked to create an Apex front end screen which the Administrators can access in order to update the Help Text associated to the page items within our application (Apex 4).
I created a basic Interactive Report:
select page_id, item_name, display_as, ITEM_HELP_TEXT from APEX_APPLICATION_PAGE_ITEMS where application_id = :APP_ID;
I also have an edit page, which contains the page id (display only), item_name (display only), item_help_text (text field).
Everything is working fine, except that when the Update process fires to update the help text, I get an Insufficient Privileges error message.
Update APEX_APPLICATION_PAGE_ITEMS
set item_help_text = :p7_item_help_text
where item_id = :p7_item_id
and application_id = :APP_ID;
Just wondering, is it possible to update this APEX_APPLICATION_PAGE_ITEMS table? If not, can you please advise what the workaround would be?
Thank you,
Laura

Log on as APEX_04000 user and then grant permission to your wpplication schema user. For a example if your application schema is app_user then
Grant SELECT,UPDATE ON APEX_APPLICATION_PAGE_ITEMS to app_user;Thanks
* If this answer is helpfull or correct then please mark it and grant the points.

Getting help text to show on fillable form

Hi all,
This might be really simple but I've created a few forms in FormCentral and I've included the 'help text' on a few fields. When I save the form as a PDF and open with Adobe reader, I get the purple bar across the top stating 'Please fill out the following form', however the help text does not show up anywhere to give guidance?
Is this a particular view setting in reader?
Thanks,
Cory

The help text won't display in the purple document message bar at the top, but should appear as the tooltip text when the mouse cursor hovers over a field that has help text set. It works that way for me.

How do I create links from my help text to my software program?

I have finished all of my online help text documentation using RoboHelp 8. I would like to create a help button in my software that a user could click on to find more information about a specific part of the program in the online help text. I would like to know how to view the absolute paths in RH8 of the help text so that I can link it to the software. Currently, when I go to my online help text is only shows me the http://www.sitename.com. and nothing more for any of the topics.

Hi,
Since your help is online, I assume you're using webhelp. Calling the help context sensitive is a joint venture between the help and the application. See http://www.grainge.org/pages/authoring/calling_webhelp/calling_webhelp.htm for help calling your help. If it doesn't help, please post back.

'Include help text' does not show up in PDF

I am using the Adobe Acrobat XI Pro trial to create writable PDF registration forms, and when I use the 'Include help text' and add the required information, once converted from 'FORMSCENTRAL' into a PDF, the '?' disappears.
I also can't work out how to 'Save as' in 'FORMSCENTRAL' for different versions of this document (similar registration forms but for five different cities) to make alterations. It seems I have to recreate each city all over again for the PDF version, when I need to make one small change to the Terms and conditions section on our form, for example.
I would appreciate some guidance, thank you!

Close the form so you are looking at the "My Forms" tab, the view that shows you all of your forms. In the "My Forms" tab you can right click on a form and choose "Duplicate" from the context menu or you can select a form and click on the "Duplicate" button in the toolbar above the list of forms.
Thanks,
Josh

How do I get the object help text into my document (report)?

Post Author: ehskalm
CA Forum: Desktop Intelligence Reporting
I want to display the object help text (the "description" field in the object properties in the universe) in my report, but I can not find any function for that? Anyone who knows? BO version is 5.1.

Post Author: hvanderkolk
CA Forum: Desktop Intelligence Reporting
All information about the classes and objects in a universe are stored in the repository database (universe domain). To get that information in your report you need to create a query on the repository database.
For an overview of all objectnames and descriptions that would be:
SELECT WA_UNV_OBJECT.OBJ_NAME, WA_OBJECT_HELP.OBJ_DATAVALUEFROM (WA_UNV_OBJECT RIGHT OUTER JOIN WA_OBJECT_HELP ON (WA_OBJECT_HELP.OBJECT_ID=WA_UNV_OBJECT.OBJECT_ID AND WA_OBJECT_HELP.UNIVERSE_ID=WA_UNV_OBJECT.UNIVERSE_ID) )
Note: this if from BO6.5 using SQL server 2000 for the repository database.

Unexpected behavior of checkbox with help text

Hi everyone.
I'm using a checkbox to achieve a yes/no user input and I've noticed something strange. Whenever the user clicks on the help text (label) associated with the checkbox, the help text pops up and the checkbox changes state.
For example, if the checkbox is unchecked, if the user clicks on the label / help text, when they close the popup, the box is checked.
It's not the end of the world or anything, but could be confusing for end users and so is undesirable. Is this a known issue? Maybe something that could be changed in a future release?
regards,
Kieran

Change this -
<div id="Layer1" style="position:absolute; width:296px;
to this -
<div id="Layer1" style="position:relative; width:296px;
and reposition the div.
